Thanks to the entire community for sharing their knowledge and hard work here, as I am constantly reading (and re-reading) the posts and hacks. Thanks to everyone for their input. I realize that there are some issues with the names (most notably UCLA), but I'm working on fixing this issue (i.e. I can no longer stand to look at this rom without sharing it). If you see anything else that needs fixing, please let me know and I'll try to get to it.

My TSB NCAA19 is for this upcoming year. I used Phil Steele's College Football 2018 Preview for my pre-season rankings, depth charts, formations, player names and jersey numbers. I'm a fan of the original Tecmo Super Bowl so I make roms true to that version which I call "vanilla". This rom is complete and I will probably not do an update during or after the season. Enjoy!

Notes:
I don't care about player faces but did do the Top 30 players. I stuck with the 3-4 defenses so for teams that actually run a 4-3 their second DT is at ILB. Sorry to fans of Utah, Boston College, Texas A&M, Memphis, Louisville, North Carolina, Duke, NC State, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, South Florida and Air Force but your teams did not make my Top 32. I did not include the Worst Possible Team (Bodom) like I have in the past.

With the CFL playoffs here I decided to do an update to this great rom. I have added the hack to help ball carriers to crash through the line better. I have also changed the NFL all star team to include the original TSB all stars! I have uploaded 3 roms, and there are now 7 ninute quarters!
-NEW Play as road team version added!!!
-NEW 2018 SCHEDULE!!!
-Updated Playbooks!

A few people have been asking for a CFL rom on this site, so here it is! The B.C. Lions helmet needs to be updated, as well as the schedule. If anyone could help me with that, it'd be great! This is my first rom, so if anybody is having problems downloading it let me know!

It's been a long time coming but it is finally here!
Play as Some of the Most Iconic Names in Sports Movie/TV History! (Falco, Beamen, Megget, Boucher, Moxon, Bertier, Crewe, Icebox, Castle, Boobie, Lattimer, Ogre, Tweeder, and more)

I have included 2 versions:
- Base rom with no hacks added from the tecmobowl.org 32-team rom (so you can add what hacks you want if any)
- Additional hacks already added such as Bruddog's push/pull hack and JStout's open WR hack

- Can you beat the Unbeatables?!!
- Can you take the Adams Atoms, Maiden Browns, Park High Pirates or Little Giants all the way to a Hollywood Championship?

Many thanks to other user submitted roms for player stats and editing.
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. My apologies if I left out one of your favorites.
Enjoy!

- Special thanks to Baron von Lector for allowing us to use his GOLD ROM as a reference.
- Thanks to Maverick209 and QBVikings for their ratings and player suggestions.
**Please note this is a WIP rom, so check back often for revisions!**

Buck did a ton of the difficult work. Buck fixed all of the graphics, removed the halftime stats, and redid the playbooks to give offense formations continuity and competitive COM. He also gave the Pro Bowl a makeover as he coded the 2016 CFL all-star team, and the 2016 NFL all-star team, and gave them proper playbooks as well as replacing references to AFC-NFL with CFL-NFL. There is even an easter egg to change the players of the NFL all-star team to the 1991 TSB all-stars. He lessened the kickoff minimum and maximum distance by 5 yards. Buck also added a hack for directional punting which I think is fantastic.

Bruddog stepped in and provided a major major upgrade when he fixed the safety glitch. The end zones were increased to 20 yards which stops shotgun plays near your own end zone of automatically becoming a safety. This fix worked two-fold, as the real CFL end zones are 20 yards. Not only did this fix the safety glitch but it's more accurate, and now you have so much more freedom to call plays when you are in the red zone which is just like the real CFL. You can still throw a fly route from the 1 yard line!!!

I updated the rosters to reflect the 2016 CFL rosters at end of season. I modified both player and team sim settings to reflect the 2016 season.

Buck and I decided to release the game both with Regular and Max Juice versions. I personally love the Max Juice version as with only 3 downs the field position battle feels very true to the real CFL game you see on TV. However, that mode is certainly difficult and not for novice players so the regular version is also included for those that need it or just think it's more fun.

As seen in the screen-shots, each team has its helmet included on their respective Team Data and Versus screens.

If you recently downloaded my 2016 version of this ROM, you might find that this one is a little more finely tuned. Ratings and simdata have been fine-tuned so that end-of season leaders are reflected accurately vis-a-vis their real-life counterparts.

In keeping with accuracy, the schedule has been reduced to 12 games, with the final week before the playoffs being set as "Rivalry Week."

The lineup of teams is 96.875% identical (to 2016), with the only difference being the inclusion of Houston, replacing Kansas State.

There are 32-teams in this ROM. The 32 teams are divided into the following eight conferences (Note: I took the liberty to "realign" some of the conferences):

I have been sitting on this ROM for almost a year before finally releasing it.

This is a collaborative effort between myself and Dave Murray. The ROM was originally finished at the end of the 2015-16 NCAA football season and is based on said season. Unless I missed anything, all instances of "NFL" have been removed from the game and replaced with NCAA logos, so that the game will have an authentic college football feel.

There are 32-teams on the ROM, with each team having their own helmet art included on their team data screens (helmet art courtesy of Dave Murray). These lucky 32 teams are:
Florida State
Clemson
Pittsburgh
Miami
Missouri
Georgia
South Carolina
Florida
Auburn
Texas A&M
Louisiana State
Alabama
Syracuse
Louisville
Virginia Tech
Notre Dame
Michigan
Nebraska
Ohio State
Wisconsin
Oklahoma
Kansas State
Baylor
Oklahoma State
Stanford
South California
UCLA
Oregon
Texas
Iowa
Michigan State
Penn State
The rosters and ratings were set at the end of the season so they would reflect performances throughout the season. Again, this ROM is a year old in terms of rosters. However, perhaps this ROM can set the groundwork as a base-ROM for future releases.

I started working on this Legends-themed ROM back in March. I delayed the release of this ROM for the simple fact that around the time of the originally planned debut, a glut of other "Legends" ROMs burst onto the scene as well. So as not to (a) get lost in the shuffle or (b) take away from the spotlight of other modders, I pulled my work.

This delay allowed me to fine-tune this ROM into what I would consider the "gold-standard" of Legends edits (hence, the "Gold" title) previously established by my past Convergence ROMs.

Each team is comprised of the greatest players in franchise history, whether it's based on talent, records, or the impact they left on the team (Players like Tim Tebow and Kordell Stewart are included for the latter reasons). In addition to the team rosters, the All-Pro rosters have been edited to contain the greatest players in the history of the National Football League.

I've combed over this ROM obsessively. If there are any errors, please let me know.

Just something to play around with. Rosters range from 1950's to Impact 2016 Rookie Class (J. Ramsey, E. Elliott, J. Bosa, M. Jack). Fast gameplay. Would love to change the playbook and add off/def line push, but I haven't read through enough threads to figure out how to do so yet. Feedback would be much appreciated!

A rework of my former project. I took the greatest Tecmo players across all stock roms, then drafted them to their respective teams. I then went ahead and added fictional player names to the rom, over the Tecmo legends. So all ratings are O.G. style.
Player names were taken from football movies, football video games and random name generators. Player names were selected to each position carefully and in a random draft format. Player names EX.........
Flash Gordon "Quarterback, New York Jets" "I'm sorry, New York Empire"
Mike Winchell
Willie Beamen
Deacon Moss
Al Bundy
Rickey Baker
Ray Finkle
Wendy's WR greats Gouda and Gruyere (no Bacon though)
Myself (backup QB Orlando Sharks, just for fun)
Pittsburgh Renegades are my current Madden players I drafted over various drafts.
etc etc etc...........................

This is a COA style mode game, meaning there are no icons, kicking meters.
The SIM stats are pretty darn good.
Playbooks very solid for each team and cater to each teams potential strength.
Graphics are tight and clean, some done by me. Some borrowed.
Various hacks inserted, to enhance gameplay.
It's even fun to watch the games!!!!

Figured I'd just share this. I had it sitting for awhile, on my computer. Feel free to do what you want with it, add icons, meters, juice etc etc etc.

Pambazos88 and I combined to make this ROM. We used GRG's outstanding CFL ROM as the base. Pambazos88 did all the difficult work. Pambazos88 designed the Ottawa Redblacks helmets. Pambazos88 also fixed all the bugs and graphics issues we found and restored the full playbook. I updated rosters and playbooks based on the 2015 season and stats. Simulation settings have been adjusted to help replicate the 2015 season.

NOTE: This is not a real 2016 season for most of the teams. It is an unreal compilation of Super Bowl teams. This rom is not intended to do tournaments, just having a little fun with the teams that have made it to the Super Bowl. This rom is not a full remake rom. It is a dev/test rom, non "production" rom.

One of the greatest years of all time for USA pop culture and sport...1985.

Play the "spring" 1985 season of the USFL in 18-game glory....Then, play a separate 14-game season with the best NFL teams of 1985...Then fight through the playoffs and see if you get your team to meet up USFL v NFL in the world championship playoff game...Can the USFL "talent" hold its ground against the NFL? Probably not, but you can try!

The upper 14 team "conference" contains the full 14-team USFL experience. The lower 14-team "conference" consists of the 10 NFL playoff teams and four other NFL teams from 1985 season.

TFO stands for "Tecmo Fantasy Owners". The idea and rom hack are ran by the TFO Commish Roger. The entire project is named "Tecmo Fantasy Owners Football League" or "TFO Football League".

Each team in the TFO Football League has been created by a different person; an Owner of a TFO Team. These owners set the stats, names, colors, logos, and superstar players for their team via an RPG like application they were sent. In essence they have "purchased" their dream teams.

After each owner submitted their team it was hacked into the original Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES. So all 24 teams are accessible from the hacked rom.

To make things more interesting instead of releasing the rom right away we documented the first full season of TFO Football on our website http://tfofootball.weebly.com. We have created an 11 week schedule with a full Tecmo Super Bowl playoff system in tact. These were all covered in games recorded for YouTube, some with commentary!

The 2013 season started Feb 2013 and ended in May 2013.

SO the question now is... Are You Ready For Some 8-bit Football???????
